As a kid, my summers were often spent visiting my grandparents in Regina Beach. There used to be a little book store in the town from which my folks purchased a number of Peanuts collections in pocket book format.

I spent weeks poring over the little drawings. The covers always struck me as odd because Charlie Brown’s shirt was always coloured red … probably to reduce the number of colours needed for printing. Anyway, I only recently realized this when I went to colour Chuck with a red ballpoint pen.

And what was with the shape of Linus’ head anyway? He must have taken a pretty bad hit sometime in the 1970s.
